It's Medical Murder Week in the UK – HotAir

If you are going to legalize various forms of murder, it makes sense to do it all in a single week. 

Earlier this week, the British House of Commons pushed through a bill allowing the murder of babies in the womb up to the moment of birth, and a couple of hours ago, they passed an extreme bill that legalized euthanasia. 





I guess that when your “free” National Health System has trouble paying the bills, it just makes sense to kill the infants and the aged. 

Members of the British House of Commons voted today to pass a dangerous bill to legalize assisted suicide. While the Third Reading vote was closer than previous votes on the measure, 314 to 291, MPs still put their stamp of approval on the bill that will likely result in pressuring disabled and elderly people to kill themselves.

Making the opening speech for the opponents of the Bill, former minister Sir James Cleverly said the rushed process produced a terrible bill.

“We were told at second reading that a lot of the concerns, a lot of the worries, a lot of the detailed questions would be resolved through the committee process. We were promised the gold-standard, a judicially underpinned set of protections and safeguards,” he said.  “Those protections did not make it through committee.”

Labour Mother of the House Diane Abbott said she’s concerned that for-profit companies will run assisted dying businesses that take advantage of killing people for money.

She said: “I came to this House to be a voice for the voiceless. It hasn’t always been favored by my own leadership, but that is why I came to the House. Who could be more voiceless than somebody who is in their sickbed and believes they are dying?





This bill has been a hot topic in Great Britain because it contains very few safeguards. Palliative care services in the UK are very hard to access, and there is no provision to ensure that patients will not feel pressured to take their lives. There was a 10 hour debate in which over 100 amendments were considered, which amounted to about 5 minutes of discussion per amendment. 

All these elements of the Bill are now permanent. A ‘yes’ vote tomorrow is a ‘yes’ to:

🚨Any doctor raising ending a patient’s life, no matter how vulnerable the patient, including those with learning disabilities [NC1 rejected]

🚨 Doctors and the panel only having to be 51% sure that the patient is not coerced or pressured, meets the criteria, or really wishes to die [NC9 not selected]

🚨Doctors not needing to be an expert in a patient’s condition, nor know the patient, nor required to involve other professionals. This increases the risk of mistakes [45 not selected]

🚨 The panels which have replaced the High Court not having the power to investigate further, and consisting of self-selecting members, rather than being independently appointed [82-86 not selected]

🚨’Education campaigns’ targeting “all professionals…family, friends, unpaid carers and other support organisations and charities” as specified in the impact assessment [NC14a rejected]

🚨 Private, for-profit contractors running a cost-cutting service for the NHS with no profit cap and no transparency obligations [15 not selected]

🚨 MPs being sidelined from decisions about what this service will look like, and what their constituents will experience [103, 104 not selected]

🚨 The Bill autocommencing in 2029 no matter what training or work is left undone, or what the state of the NHS or palliative care is [102 not selected]

🚨Hospices and care homes who do not want to participate in assisted dying having no protection in law and having funding predicated on participation [NC17 not selected]

🚨No obligations to ensure drug safety standards, protect against distressing or prolonged death, and no need for patient clarity about possible complications [99 + 100, 27 not selected]

🚨Independent oversight being gone for good: the Chief Medical Officer has been removed and replaced with the Commissioner marking his team’s homework [NC4 not selected]

🚨 MPs having no guarantee that the necessary data will be gathered from Day 1, without which it will be hard to understand how assisted dying is used and who it is impacting [NC19 not selected]

🚨 Coroners being excluded despite strong opposition from the Royal College of Pathologists and former Chief Coroner that this will mean wrongdoing is concealed [NC15a not selected for decision]





The vote on assisted dying follows an earlier one decriminalizing abortion until birth. The push to decriminalize abortions until some point in a pregnancy was unsurprising–a majority of Britons strongly support abortion rights–but the measure that passed the House of Commons allows for chemical abortions as long as a fetus is in the womb. 

All of these changes to the law are predicated on the idea that compassion requires them. However, it is obviously a matter of compassion for whom. The assumption appears to be that some people are a burden and that the best course of action is to dispose of them. The right to life is determined by whether others want them to be around. 

The fewer burdensome people there are, the more for the rest of us. That is not my definition of compassion. 





Peacefully speaking out against abortion, or even praying within sight of an abortion clinic, is illegal in the UK. Killing babies in the ninth month of pregnancy will not be. 

It is an atrocity. 

Even the claim that allowing late-term abortions will protect women who might otherwise use alternative means to accomplish the goal of killing their child is bogus. Late-term abortions skyrocket in number when they are legalized, and chemical abortifacients are dangerous at any stage of pregnancy and can easily be deadly in later stages. 

There is a growing cult of murder in Anglophone societies. Late-term abortions are much more restricted on the continent, just as alphabet ideology is in retreat. Medical atrocities are being normalized.





It is a cult of death, and the opposite of compassionate. Rather, it is about controlling costs and making life more convenient for the young and healthy.

This is the UK. Legalizing murder while patting themselves on the back for it.
